Video Killed the Radio Star

1. Need for Speed Most Wanted
2. I haven't played it for a while, but it was very fun. I didn't want to talk about Mario even though I really wanted to.
3. It is media because it has different brands of cars and car accessories. There is also other billboards and music on the game.
4. This game sends the message that you need to have the fastest car, be able to piss off the cops and get away to make it to the top of the most wanted list. You have to do something to make them chase you and the higher your status the better the chase. You have to get away otherwise they impound your car for the money you cost the city to pursue you. So i guess the message is to piss off the cops then engage them in a high speed chase and be able to escape.
5. I guess they are negative messages, because if you do this in real life you will get arrested.
6. I think you assigned this because media comes in all forms and we need to be aware of this so we don't fall victim to the media's control of everything. We need to think for ourselves and avoid following the media's influence even in video games.
